Tips for for printing Mohawk uncoated papers
Good, well-planned color separations are crucial for successful printing on uncoated paper. To compensate for dot gain on press it is necessary to "open" the separations by reducing the dot size to varying percentages for highlights, midtones and shadows. This permits finer line screens and higher ink intensities, which yield truer color, more details and smoother solids.
Corrected separations also allow the printer to run more ink, which compensates for dry back, and apply more squeeze, which forces the ink into the fine texture of the paper surface for better coverage.
The percentages used to open up the separations are determined by the original image, the experience of the printer, the printer's equipment, the ink, and the paper. Not all papers have the same ink holdout characteristics, but the ink levels of Mohawk's uncoated papers are exceptional.
Let the printer know your paper specification before the press-work is started. Pre-press is important prior to actual run.
